I have talked to them about it, but of course I cannot be sure, they
might be lying to me.

What is our target audience then? They were my target audience,
apparently. When I find nice functions in program X or Y it pains me

whatever and I want them to see the light as well. Maybe that is my
problem, that I want to help people...
